scope of use

Scanned image PDFs will not be recognized without a text layer; the multi-column reading order may be different from the original layout.

Why can't the scanned copy or picture PDF extract text?

Such files usually do not have a text layer. This tool only reads optional text, does not execute OCR; if you encounter a page without a text layer, it will be explained in the result. The extraction order of multi-columns, tables, and special fonts may also be different from visual layout.

Will the input content be saved on the server?

This tool handles input in the browser, and does not upload files or form content. Typing practice scores are only saved in the native browser.

Why may the result be different from other tools?

Scanned image PDFs will not be recognized without a text layer; the multi-column reading order may be different from the original layout. Please compare the input unit, rounding method, applicable rules and data version first.
